For Outstanding Makeup For A Single-Camera Series (Non-Prosthetic), the series finished on top of BOARDWALK EMPIRE, THE BORGIAS, GLEE, MAD MEN, and ONCE UPON A TIME. They won for the episode "Kissed By Fire." The Emmys went to Paul Engelen (Department Head Makeup Artist), Melissa Lackersteen ( Key Makeup Artist), Daniel Lawson Johnston ( Makeup Artist), and Martina Byrne (Makeup Artist).

My heartfelt congratulations to our world-class SFX team and makeup artists. Well deserved.

It takes a lot of people to make a quality show, and the craftsmen and artists who do all the 'below the line' jobs contribute just as much as the 'above the line' talent like the directors, actors, and writers, though they seldom receive the recognition they deserve. So hats off to our terrific crew... not only Sunday's winners, but also all the other nominees from GAME OF THRONES, who lost out to other worthy shows. (You wuz robbed, as we used to say in Bayonne)

HBO as a whole did even better, completely dominating the awards with 20 wins, way more than any other network. CBS was a distant second with 15, and the totals plunged sharply after that.

Plans fell through for me to visit the District. Somehow, I mixed up the dates and have a three-day family moot the weekend of Capclave. I haven't canceled my reservations at The Carlyle yet; I'm still going to make a trip of it. Just with less nerd squee.
